The title of this post says it all. Simply put, I can't delete anything in Umbraco. I can create anything in their respective locations, but, deleting just doesn't do anything. And when I say I can't delete, what I mean is:
I right-click a node anywhere in the tree and choose Delete.
I get the JavaScript confirmation asking me to confirm that I want to delete the node.
I click OK and nothing happens. The node doesn't go away.
I followed the steps outlined here to setup my Umbraco site manually: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/v501/Getting-Started/Installing-Umbraco-Manually. ; I chose to use my local version of IIS, not IIS Express. I also did not setup a Virtual Application, I simply created a new website in IIS and unzipped the Umbraco files there. And for database I chose I already have a blank SQL Server 2008 database. Everything installed fine. My front-end site loads. Even the backoffice loads fine. What doesn't work is when I try to right-click on something and delete it.
To make things more interesting, I setup the same exact web files and database on one of my Windows 2008 R2 64-bit server and everything works fine there! Even deleting. I also setup the same exact files on a Windows 7 64-bit virtual machine. Just like on the server, everything works fine in the virtual machine as well. Including deleting.
The only way I can get the delete functionality to work in the Umbraco Backoffice is if I run the site on IIS Express. On IIS Express everything works including deleting. But I'd like to be able to run the site on my full version of IIS 7.5.
I've definitely narrowed down the issue to be something with my local version of IIS. For those of you wondering, I'm running IIS 7.5.7600.16385 on Windows 7 64-bit, build 7601 with Service Pack 1.
This is my first Umbraco site ever, I'm actually a Sitecore developer. But now I'm getting into Umbraco and I'm really excited about it! I just wish I could get this one issue resolved.
One last thing. I also tried setting up the previous version of Umbraco, version 4.7.2, which I downloaded from here: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/releases/view/81011. ; I did not have the issue when trying to delete items in this version. Same IIS server, same DB server. No issue.
Thank you for your time and any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated!
This is a very weird problem. I don't have the problem on my local copy of the site and the only thing i can think of is the permissions. Which I've checked about a thousand times now.
OK, I just can't get this to work. I have tried nightly builds, tried whiping everything and installed it again and contacted the web hosting service which can't find any problems with the server. It just won't work. I want to make an issue over at issues.umbraco.org but i don't know how to reproduce the error. It works on my production server but not on my live server and i can't find any deffirence. Is it ok to submit the issue anyway?
Umbraco 5 - can't delete anything in the Backoffice

Let me provide you a little bit of background.
I'm working with the very latest version of Umbraco which you can download here: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/releases/view/86766

P.S.: For those of you who use StackOverflow, here is my post directly related to this issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10434583/umbraco-5-cant-delete-anything-in-the-backoffice.
I just upgraded to Umbraco 5.1 and got the same problem. Firebug gives this error message:

Douglas: Did you ever get it to work?
OK, I just can't get this to work. I have tried nightly builds, tried whiping everything and installed it again and contacted the web hosting service which can't find any problems with the server.

I ran into a similar problem. Read this thread http://our.umbraco.org/forum/core/umbraco-5-general-discussion/30167-500-Server-Error-when-deleting-a-macro?p=0#comment118838 I'm guessing Umbraco 5.x may work in IIS Express because Media Services is not a component of that environment.
Yeah, as i said in that thread, removing LiveStreamingHandler in the web.config did'nt help :(.
Does anybody has an answer to this issue I'm really stuck and can't delete anything from the backoffice (localy it does work),
I'm using Umbraco 5.
Please helppppppp
is working on a reply...
